Elizabeth - Sammy Copley (original song)

lil demo of a song i've been writing and am quite happy with - still have this godforsaken cold which you can likely hear in my voice lol but we're powering through

hope you like this one! give me all ur thoughts! feed me seymour!

LYRICS:

pocket full of secrets
belly full of stars
our loving where we left it
buried deep in my backyard

in the lonely heat of August
i am hanging on a dream
i've been using it to ground me
but it's torn along the seam

come spilling from the centre
the sounds of love and loss
an image of a jester
of children born from moss

the edge of love is jagged
but the centre tang and sweet
i reminisce on fishing lines
and stacks of magazines

pocket full of secrets
belly full of stars
i am digging in the garden
i am digging in the yard

you dressed up as a tradesman
in your father's suit and tie
i conjured up a marching band
and forced them into lines

we played a game of Family
until the lights were low
and then you left me lonely
in the summer and the snow

i recall you at the playground
you are dancing on the swings
i want to fill your heart with butterflies
and other pretty things

pocket full of secrets
belly full of stars
perhaps it's best we left it
keep on going as we are

pockets full of secrets
belly full of skies
there's stones left still for turning
i'm afraid of what i'll find

pocket full of secrets
belly full of stars
buried in time and memory
buried deep in my backyard

You're a genius. Not only do you have the most beautiful and expressive voice, but i absolutely love the lyrics. Extremely WELL written young man. Keep doing what you do.

My mom is called Elizabeth and she approves this song

[daughterofbathala]

i swear, you are such an angelic force with such loving intent behind ur music :")

i'm not having the best time + listening to this song made me feel so many things, but it gave me space to feel this hurt if that makes sense. maybe that sounds a little confusing and maybe too mushy, but in short: thank you sammy, i hope ur music is as therapeutic and treasured by u as it is to me + others!!
i hope u get well soon from ur cold + have good things coming ur way.
lots of love !! xxx

[lucyrain]

ahhh these lyrics give me that feeling that billie martens music sort of does? like that 3am, lying on the living room with your bestfriend, writing love songs and discovering the secrets of the universe kinda feeling

[mew]

I love how your palette just grows ever greater, Sam - musically and lyrically. So beautiful.

[lucyrain]

Hello! Just stopping by with your daily reminder that we love you and appreciate you and think of you as endlessly beautiful. Your lyrics are gorgeous, they make me feel some type of way. We love you. You are loved. You matter to us.

[ThijsVrolijkOfficial]

You’re not just a songwriter.. This is damn poetry

[amarie]

this feels so warm and nostalgic... like a song you loved but forgot about after a while. i love your songwriting so much! keep doing what you're doing <3

[bewurld]

sammy. how do you DO that seriously i feel like in my dreams when i fall off my bike but i wake up just in time. that tingly shocked slow feeling. your music has a way of doing that, and it’s magic

[busybee]

This song made me actually cry.
It reminded me of nostalgic memories that I shared with my childhood best friend. She made me happy and thus song made me call her to reconnect with her.
Thanks for this

[Meekoeve]

You remind me of a bard/old time-y storyteller in all the best ways ☺️ Keep doing your thing! It's awesome to listen to 😉

[davidabramowitz]

Out of this world. The crap on the radio can't compete with this. Brilliant!

[francismedero]

Bro, I understood the lyrics a little because I am from Argentina, but you have a pleasant voice and that transmits trust in this way and you will go far.

[myahoshino]

How are you so good
Im so glad i found you this early
Its only a matter of time until youre on the top
Much love

[abel_thz]

an "I love your voice" going straight from Brazil to you, you are sweet and beautiful

[Inyrth]

This is one of those gems that can be found on your channel.
Would love to see this developed into a song on an album one day.
Just the articulation is so nice and warming.


Keep making your beautiful music and keep looking dapper :).

[tuiii]

This song reminds me of a friend of mine who passed away. We were years and years apart in age but always talked about the childhood we shared in our souls, in a time beyond time. This song, somehow, feels like an anthem to the worlds we created.

Your songs take such a hold of my heart, healing and inspirational. They leave me breathless with wonder...

[caoimhedoesstuff]

This makes me nostalgic for something I haven’t even experienced

[aewald]

Oh my God! I couldn't hold back my tears! Beautiful memories but also really sad - "the times they are a'changing" - but our heart is full of memories! <3 <3 <3

[onezestytambourinebeat]

the subtle harmonies in the background low-key made me cry, thank you <3
